2011 Rugby World Cup Finals Tickets Below Cost? #RWC2011

Pin It Now!
When I walked out of Britomart Train Station this afternoon I came across a couple of girls walking around with these signs, “Rugby World Cup Final’s Tickets – Below Cost – for info go to . I thought the IRB was going to/trying to clamp down on ticket scalpers? Well, it looks like there are tickets available on eBay for the finals match between France and the All Blacks.

Tui Yeah Right Calendar Girls Billboard

Pin It Now! You've gotta love the stuff the people come up with for Tui's "Yeah Right" billboards. "I thought it was shop where girls sell calendars?" made me laugh because I could just imagine a guy explaining this to his wife or partner or girlfriend ever so innocently. For those of you who don't know what "Calendar Girls" is, Google it and then it will make more sense.

World Cities Distance Sign | Bob's Peak Queenstown

Pin It Now!
A couple of weeks ago I unexpectedly found myself in Queenstown. Whilst there my wife and I took a ride on the Gondola up to Bob’s Peak. Besides offering stunning views of Queenstown, The Remakables and Lake Wakatipu there is also a world cities distance sign to remind you on just how far New Zealand is from the rest of the world.

It’s not everyday that you see a car halfway up the Auckland Sky Tower. Well, the people over at Sky City are running a promotion where the winner will get to drive away with a new Mercedes Benz C200 CGI Sport Edition. What a way to run a marketing campaign. Under the photo you will find a short video showing how they got it up there.

‘Cucci’ Personalised Plate

Pin It Now!

I came across this car in the city this morning and I just had to take a photo of it. It’s not everyday you come across a “Cucci” personalised plate. What came to mind when I saw the plate was a Chinese knock-off of Gucci or the owner may have been alluding to….yup, you got it! Who knows?

Homemade Seed Tray | Egg Carton

Pin It Now!

Spring officially started a few days ago and this has left a lot of people more cheerful seeing as summer is just around the corner. It also marks a point where a lot of people are getting their gardens ready and sowing seeds and so on and so forth. I am no different and one thing I don’t like to do is spend money when I don’t need to. To start of my seed I stick them into homemade seed trays which are just egg cartons and that has saved me a few dollars.

Boat Launch at Sandspit Yacht Club

Pin It Now!

Now and then I go for walks around the place and sometimes I take a camera along with me. The other day I found myself walking past the Sandspit Yacht Club. It was interesting to see people going about their own business at the beach. Some were fishing, some were cleaning their boats and others were doing nothing at all besides relaxing on their boats and enjoying the weather.

Samara from Samaria - 1 Kings 16:24

Pin It Now!
Samaria from The Bible - 1 Kings 16:24(click on image for large view)

Why did I take a photo of a page in the bible? That page is of particular importance to me because that is where I ended up when I was trying to think of a name for my daughter. I was really struggling with coming up with a name for her and one day I decided that I would turn to the Bible and see what I came up with. When I opened it up and fanned through the pages, Kings 16 is where I ended up. After reading a few lines Samaria popped right up and I immediately thought Samara!

Samara is a name of Hebrew and Arabic origin, and its means "guardian or protected by God; night talk". We eventually had a few choice lined up but her mother and I settled on Samara right after she was born because of her ‘traumatic’ birth. God really was watching over her at the time.
